According to Christianity, using fossil fuels is commanded by God, but I wonder if their interpretation is wrong. There's lots of evidence from science showing that fossil fuels can be very poisonous to the environment and that hurts our homes and our lives! What do you guys think, is science or religion right?

Welcome back, pimpdave.
I'll have to say the OP paints a very leading question and is therefore quite biased. That being said, I think that if everyone acted like a christian the major issues of pollution wouldn't exist in the first place.

Only because we would have exterminated everyone who isn't a Christian, and then exterminated everyone who isn't quite the same flavour of Christian as us because they're "not really Christians" and there would only be about 100 people left alive to cause pollution :twisted:

Once a true Christian found out that the pollution that he/she was creating was harming his fellow man he would do what he could to prevent this harm. Exterminating everyone who isn't a Christian isn't a Christian belief. You are confusing Christian beliefs from the beliefs of certain individual "Christians", as is the OP.

I would say that you're confusing whatever you are pinning on "Christian" with actual biblical teachings, which if followed would result in a dramatic depopulation of the world in pretty short order.

That, or my comments were flippant and meant for humour value only, I'll leave it to you to decide which you want to believe :wink:

Which Christian teachings say we should use Fossil Fuels? Which scientific theories propose that we shouldn't?

I use fossil fuels because ethics tells me it's ok, irrespective of science or religion.

Young-Earth Creationists definitely shouldn't call them fossil fuels at least.... there's no way 6000 years is long enough for fossils to melt like that :lol:

Christians used a lot of fossil fuels during the Dark Ages for boiling scientists and atheists:

It's so "in" to knock Christians that anyone criticizing them just looks like looks another poser to anyone but the many others who do it to fit in. Try having an original thought ; it's so much more engaging.

The opinions in the video are borderline insane.
And on the wrong side of that border.

Well after nearly 2000 years of it being normal to do more than 'knock' atheists,I'm talking about murdering them here,excuse me if I don't care about mere criticism,only words.Btw there is nothing original about defending Christianity either,original thought is extremely rare.

Until very recently that sadly was the case..

I'm defending the thing currently being unjustly attacked, the subject matter is more or less irrelevant. Someone acting ignorantly towards Christianity is no better than someone acting ignorantly towards atheism, it is ignorance that resulted in the killing of the aforementioned people and its ignorance that I am railing against. As far as original thoughts, I would settle even for "more thoughtful".

wut? "if everyone acted like a christian?" are christians the only ones enlightened by some sort of moral/ethics acording to you? Are there more christians with moral/ethics than the average world poplulation according to you?
